PRE-ORDER NOW! Pulling up to the gated community known as Belladonna—nestled comfortably in the foothills of South Carolina—one is confronted by a logo featuring a wide-eyed Cleopatra surrounded by the legendary poisonous plant. It’s the sort of place that has a hammerlock on the American Dream

NOW AVAILABLE! Tom Howard’s award-winning debut short story collection, Fierce Pretty Things, won accolades for blending “raw emotion with surreal forays into the supernatural and metaphysical.” With his second collection, Invisibilia, Howard takes the reader on a mesmerizing ride through a haunting, haunted landscape of children, drifters, soldiers, lovers, and ghosts, and the unseen forces that shape their lives.

The characters in John Salter’s short story collection There Will Never Be Another Night Like This have one thing in common: they’re in flux. Will they pivot and move on gracefully, or stumble and fall?

If the short story collections of John Cheever and Flannery O’Connor had a love child, it would be The Beasts of Belladonna.
